genec Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Got my first bird of the season yesterday. Not a bid bird - 19.08 Lbs, but a start. Beard 10 1/8 :, and short spurs - 13/16 & 15/16" 3 1/2" Longbrard #6 worked like a charm, again! Can't add my photos, because even "dummed" down to their lowest level, the system is telling me my file size is too big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surf and Turf Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Congrats genec! That sounds like a respectable bird to to me. Any Turkey is an accomplishment, is there a story to tell here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genec Posted May 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Actually Smerchley, it isn't destined for any roasting pan! My wife isn't overly keen on wild turkey, but I made turkey jerky out of my bird from last year, and both my grandson and I love it, so that's where this one is headed as well! And yean Gunner, I bought a 2nd tag right away, but want to get the grandson out first to try and fill his tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
